Example Usage
-------------

* You have to send in the phone number, without any non-numeric characters. The phone numbers must be 10 digits in length.
* The two required parameters are the phone number and the phone carrier.
* Here are the carrier values: 

	Alltel Wireless 	=> 	"Alltel"

	AT&T/Cingular 		=> 	"AT&T"

	Boost Mobile		=> 	"Boost"

	Sprint Wireless		=>	"Sprint"

	T-Mobile		=>	"T-Mobile"

	Virgin Mobile		=> 	"Virgin"

	Verizon Wireless	=>	"Verizon"




deliver_sms("5558675309","AT&T","your message here")




* You can override the default maximum length of the SMS message, which is 128 characters. Most phones can only accept 128 characters. To do this just specify the limit option. 

deliver_sms("5558675309","AT&T","your message here", :limit => 128)
